Apple Dumplings

Apple Dumplings is one of the best desserts. With their origins as a humble peasant dish from the colder European climates of England, Bavaria and Austria, apple dumplings have crossed the Atlantic and spread their sweet smell to the New World. Over the centuries, they have become an internationally loved treat found in many grandmothers’ cookbooks.

Originally, apple dumplings used to be boiled and steamed, and the word itself comes from German dampf, meaning steam. Nowadays, this aromatic dish is typically baked and stuffed with spiced and sweetened Granny Smith apples, previously cored and peeled.

Ingredients:
1 apple
1 8-count tube of crescent rolls (8 oz)
1 stick of butter, melted
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
6 oz Sprite

Instructions:
Core and peel apple into eight slices.
Open can of crescent rolls and unroll. Place one apple slice on the wide end of one crescent and roll it up in the crescent.
Place into a greased 8×8 (or 9×9) pan. Continue with other rolls.
In a small bowl combine melted butter, sugar, cinnamon, and flour and mix until just combined.
Spoon over each crescent.
Pour Sprite into empty space in the middle of pan (NOT over the crescents).
Bake at 350 degrees F for 35 to 40 minutes or until crescents are golden brown.
Serve warm with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
